President Biden Restores Full Social Security Benefits
President Biden on Sunday signed the NTEU-endorsed Social Security Fairness Act into law, restoring benefits for about 3 million recipients.
Now, certain retirees with public service backgrounds, or their survivors, will finally get the benefits they have earned. The new law repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO), that had been unfairly reducing their Social Security income over the last 40 years.
None of this would have been possible without the hard work of our grassroots activists and retirees who kept the pressure on Congress right up until the very last minute. NTEU was proud to support this legislation and work with other advocates to help it become law.
